Technical details

A Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability exists in OpenLink Virtuoso OpenSource v7.2.11 within the `sqlo_tb_col_preds` component. The issue is triggered during the compilation or optimization phase of specific SQL queries, particularly those involving complex JOIN operations and the `contains()` function. An attacker with the ability to execute SQL queries against the database can trigger a null pointer dereference or similar memory corruption leading to a process crash (SIGSEGV). The vulnerability was identified via fuzzing and can be reproduced by executing a crafted SELECT statement involving a LEFT JOIN and a full-text search predicate. At the time of reporting, this affects version 7.2.11.
